Ring of Honor issued the following:

MARTY SCURLL TAKES ON JAY LETHAL AT FINAL BATTLE

Ring of Honor’s seminal event, FINAL BATTLE, emanates from the Manhattan Center’s Hammerstein Ballroom on Friday December 15 at 9 PM EST! Fans around the world will be watching on Pay Per View, on the Fite.TV app, on ROHWrestling.com, and on Playstation Network as wrestling’s top stars clash with scores to be settled and championships to be decided.

This year’s Final Battle is the 16th in ROH history and will be the best, ever! “The Villain” Marty Scurll was told by Ring of Honor officials that he could select any opponent he wanted for ROH’s marquee event. Scurll, who became an international star in 2017, is looking to close out the year with the biggest win of his career against the man who is known as The Franchise of ROH!

“The Villain” is in the midst of the biggest year of his career. Holding the ROH World Television Championship for the greater half of 2017, Scrull defeated opponents such as Donovan Dijak, Lio Rush, and Adam Cole on his way from elevating his stock as one of the best in the world. 

But Scurll doesn’t want to be one of the best – he wants to be the best. And he wants to prove it against a man whose name is synonymous with Ring of Honor and great World Champions.

Scurll interrupted Jay Lethal on an episode of Ring of Honor Television as Lethal stated his case to be the number one contender for the Ring of Honor World Championship. As Lethal reminded fans around the world that he has the only singles win over World Champion Cody, Scurll interrupted Lethal, chastising Lethal for putting away the old, more villainous Jay Lethal in exchange for a more fan-friendly Lethal.

“The Villain” stated Lethal had lost his edge, the edge that propelled him to championships and Scurll said he wants to see that in any potential battle. Lethal wasted no time in accepting the challenge and the match is set!

The only question now is has The Villain gotten in the head of The Franchise? Is Scurll trying to get Lethal at his best but lure him into using tactics that he has put behind him? Join us to find out!

Every year, Final Battle is the biggest event on the Ring of Honor calendar! Following the fastest sellout in Final Battle history, the only way you can see Final Battle LIVE is by joining ROH on Pay Per View, available on all major Pay Per View providers, ROHWrestling.com, Fite.TV, and Playstation Network on Friday December 15 at 9 PM EST!
